She has been compared to such luminaries as Ursula K. LeGuin, Octavia Butler, and Jordan Peele, yet her voice is singular and distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, at long last, she presents us with a story collection that fully demonstrates the breadth and sophistication of her talent. Over the course of thirteen stories, we navigate complex family relationships, romances both troubled and charmed, and events that straddle the supernatural and the all-too-real. Among the disintegrating husbands, seductive ghosts, and artists communing with the supernatural to find their voices, Giddings establishes herself as a true investigator of modern yearning. Funny, poignant, exquisitely-rendered, and deeply moving, the stories in \u003ci\u003eBlack Arts\u003c\/i\u003e further establish Megan Giddings as one of our most eagle-eyed and groundbreaking literary talents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Call \u0026 Response Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45075866222661,"sku":"9780063352797","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/6621\/4213\/files\/9780063352797_jpg.webp?v=1780173887","url":"https:\/\/www.callandresponsechi.com\/products\/black-arts-stories","provider":"Call \u0026 Response Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
